What if the competitive aspect was completely removed from the activity and corps just performed with no pressure to keep up with Joneses, if you will. Would you still attend drum corps shows, then? Maybe after Boston wins their first competitive finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I care a lot more about the entertainment value, but part of that is the high quality of performance, and I wonder if that quality would be there if there were no competition to incentivize it. And you just presented an interesting thought. Might happen since many mm look forward to performing, not scoring results. Would probably have no limitations on corps size and with no scores, there should not be any "write the show for sheets" going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we add Esperanza, Impulse, Blue Devils B, and Santa Clara Vanguard into the mix, the total investment from CA becomes even more significant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
